SUMMARY Energy filtration makes it possible to image a ∼0.5 μm biological section at 80 kV in the electron microscope. Based on spectra taken at different tilt angles, we chose the most probable energy loss, ΔEp ± 10 eV for each tilt angle, as the imaging energy window. A complete tilt series from + 60° to −60° at 2.5° intervals was collected on the Zeiss EM902 and used in a tomographic reconstruction of transcriptionally active chromatin in the Balbiani ring of Chironomus tentans.

The objectives of the Environmental Restoration (ER) Remote Sensing and Special Surveys Program are to apply state-of-the-art remote sensing and geophysical technologies and to manage routine and remotely-sensed examinations of the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR), the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP), the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORTS), and their adjacent off-site areas. Repeated multispectral scanner (MSS) imagery, gamma, and photographic surveys will allow monitoring of the degradation that might occur in waste containment vessels and monitoring (at a later stage in the remediation life cycle) of improvements from restoration efforts and cleanup. These technologies, in combination with geophysical surveys, will provide an effective means for identifying unknown waste sites and contaminant transport pathways. All of the data will be maintained in a data base that will be accessible to site managers in the ER Program. The complete analysis of collected data will provide site-specific data to the ER Program for characterizing and monitoring ER Program hazardous waste sites.
